The first installment of data has been released for the Mouse Brain Architecture Project, at a “mesoscopic” scale corresponding to brain regions in classical neuroanatomy. The goal of the Mouse Brain Architecture (MBA) project is to generate brainwide maps of inter-regional neural connectivity. Read the rest of this entry…

Advances in brain-computer interfaces, restorative neurotechnology, and assistive robot technology reported in Nature by the BrainGate2 collaboration of researchers, allowed two people with tetraplegia to reach for and grasp objects in three-dimensional space using robotic arms that they controlled directly with brain activity.

Building the first low-power, large-scale digital model of the brain. A miniature, massively parallel computer, powered by a million ARM processors, could produce the best brain simulations yet. By Steve Furber
